Max needed toys, Wal-Mart has toys. So Alisa and I go look for toys, we got 3 toys that squeak one ball and a rope to pull. We also got a 30 foot tie out. Grandma Jean has 2 cats that are not fond of dogs.

You must remember that we forgot phone numbers. We wanted to hook up with friends Darby and Becky. We knew what block they lived in but not what house. They got a new one since the last time we were here.

We decide to drive around the block, hopefully there will be some indication on where they live. We know they got a new car, the one they had last time was totaled. When we get there we notice no names anywhere. Gosh do we need to knock on everyone's door? "Hi, we are visiting from a different climate."

They may think we are from a different planet. Well some one upstairs wanted us to to find them It seems that Becky was bored and decided to clean out the car. We were driving around the neighborhood and there she was. She looked surprised. When Darby came home he opened the door wondering who's van is parked blocking there driveway. He was quite surprised to find it was us.

It was hot, it was muggy, we needed air conditioning. And we needed it bad. We tell them to meet us at Diary Queen, I know it is cool there. We pick up the kids and head over.

Derek apparently is hungry, everyone gets ice cream, he gets the shrimp basket. I'll have to talk with that boy.

Well, my brother in law is a Pastor, he wanted to start a new church in downtown Erie. He was looking for a place non church people would feel at home. Why not a bar. We had to go to services at "Church in a bar". Nothing like preaching about the light of the world under a bud lite sign.

Other than exclaiming "Doh!" I share another thing with Homer, no we both don't have yellow skin and have a wife with a big blue hairdo. We both have a love for the round sweetened cakes with holes. Mighty Fine Doughnuts is the name of the company that makes the best dougnuts in the country. That company with the initials KK has nothing on these. I had to introduce my kids to the pinnacle of bad for you breakfast foods.

After church Maggie takes us to the closest paradise of doughnut shops. Even the cakes made a few hours ago taste better then the fresh ones at the competition. Honey can I be buried in a Mighty Fine Doughnut box?

We return home eat dougnuts and fall asleep with holely dreams....
